One week. Nothing stops him!

So lil man had his surgery a week ago. He acts like nothing is wrong! He is such a trooper amd I couldn't be happier with our decision!

We are officially living in Ozark now! I'm so happy to be closer to my family and to be able to do so many things. Clinton was good to us it just limited our freedoms. Siro is on his third day at his new store and he is loving it. Very stressful but nontheless he loves his job again! I cannot thank him enough for all the sacrifices he makes for me on a daily basis.

Damo is waving now!!!! He is also climbing up on things and standing up. Pretty soon he is gonna be walking? Which in turn, makes this mommy super nervous. I am so excited that he is babbling away all day, everyday. Life is atarting to return to normal.
Well as normal as it can be.
Our adventure is beginning and we are loving it!

One Week and Counting..

Life has been CRAZY! Siro is getting transferred to a Springfield store. We are finally moving closer to my family! I couldn't be more nervous and excited. We turned in our application fees and are waiting for results to see if we got the townhouse in Ozark. We are exactly one week away from Mr. Vader's surgery! With all the stress of moving, and his surgery so close I cant help but worry. I want my baby boy to just have a normal life. I just hope the recovery will be fine and that things will go smoothly the next few weeks. I will be starting a new location at my work and I am so excited about it!

His surgery will last about 4 hours. I am going to be a wreck. I already know. My momma and papa are coming to stay with us at the Ronald McDonald House and i am very thankful for the support of them.

My Daddy is getting MARRIED!! I'm so excited that he has found someone who is completely wonderful to him. He deserves happiness. I cannot wait to have this woman be a part of our lives! Growing up I always wanted my dad to find his happiness and he has. I could be more excited for him!

Ah life is so crazy. I hope that things will be a smooth transition to the great adventure we are about to take!

Getting Closer, More Stress...

Well I have finally been approved for lil mans leave. We are in the process of job changing. Lil Man's been sick. Its Been a CRAZY week to say the least.

Siro has posted for a few positions near the Springfield area and we are hoping we hear something soon. We wanna be closer to our friends and family. We want our baby to grow up with our best friends' babies too! Last week lil mans temp got all the way up to 104 and it was very scary. He now has the "after sick rash" Basically he is broke out in a rash all over. He had pink eye. Poor baby boy is such a trooper though!

I have been so overwhelmed with trying to find a sitter for our baby, and we have a wonderful one I cant thank Syl enough for taking him in. He loves you so much already!

Work is stressful.. lots of things happening and over just very busy. I will have been with the company for a year on September 11! Im so excited. My first major milestone as a stylist. I feel like I have definitely improved my skills and i have found out what im not so good at. I am always trying to be a better stylist.

Speaking of hair. I just want this stuff to grow! I am tired of short hair, I want my long luxurious hair from high school back!... someday I suppose. I read a blog where someone had said they have all the time in the world to have short hair... when they are older. Ha! That is so true. I will have an old fashioned rollerset someday. With aquanet hairspray. oh yes. It will be lovely.

When I got on here I didnt realize over 50 people viewed my last post!
Thank you! I hope I am not too boring and that i can keep the attention of all of you!

So we begin..

I thought it would be a great idea to start blogging. I am obsessed with reading about peoples journeys and the adventures that happen. So I begin..

My son was born with hypospadias. We will be having surgery on September 17, 2013. I could not be more nervous the more the day is approaching. damo's dr. (Dr. Murphy at Childrens Mercy) is very confident things will go smoothly throughout the whole procedure. This momma is gonna be a nervous wreck though. I have such a happy baby. He hardly cries. unless he is hungry of course. But i have faith the dr and his team will do a wonderful job with our boy. 

We decided to do the procedure early in his life. The thought that my son would have to sit to pee is just terrible. When boys are little they want to pee on the tree outside, make shapes in the snow with it. they just wanna have fun. I dont want that to be taken away from him. He deserves to be able to do these things. Someday i want him to be able to have his own baby. I want him to be able to function normally. This procedure will take about four hours, and we are hoping it will only be one surgery.. but i guess we will have to see when the time comes.

Being Damo's mom has completely changed my outlook on life. All of my dreams have shifted. its not about me anymore. Its about my baby boy and whats best for him. I want to give him the world, if he asks. I want to provide for him in any way possible. I want to show him that he can be anything he wants to be and his dad and i will love him no matter what. 

As for Damo's dad.. he is wonderful. I see so much more love now that we are a family. Siro loves that boy. He would drop everything he had just to be sure our son was taken care of. He works so hard, and i cant thank him enough for how much he provides for our family. He has been my rock, and always made sure that we have the things we need. The days we open for work, we dont see each other much. He will write on the mirror in the bathroom sweet things, and then i write him back. Its the simple things that mean the most to us these days. We have such an indescribable love toward each other and i can honestly say i am so happy that he is mine. and i am his. we were meant for each other. 

hope everyone has a fabulous day. i didnt expect to write so much!
